NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

F.B.I. Shut Down Inquiry Into Top Ally of Senator Susan Collins
The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.

I spent much of my early career running sport-based youth development programs, researching and writing about them. Sports can build character....you just have to be careful what character your building. In my view, sports must never be used to prepare us for war. Sports must prepare us for peace

ICE plans to buy robot ‘dogs’ for some immigration enforcement operations
The doglike robots are equipped with cameras and sensors that can detect chemicals and would be used in situations that could be unsafe for officers, a DHS official says.

After years treating veterans and being one myself, I learned that military service and especially war take a heavy toll on mental health. A phenomenon known as moral injury haunts veterans for years. The criminality and immorality of this regime is harming service members and it must be stopped.

Let’s talk about Medicare for All. What would it mean for the individual American? ⬇ The day you’re born you get a card that gives you health insurance with no premium, co-pay, or deductible. Doesn’t matter if you get a job, lose a job, turn 26 or 65, get married or divorced — it's there for you.

ICE agents have been caught lying in their reports by civilian cams many times. They say they don't have the funds to wear bodycams - yet they're flooded with cash. Instead, they prowl around our streets in unmarked cars wearing masks and murder our citizens. This is not sustainable.
